Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of annealing, in particular to a rapid annealing device for automatically flattening a welding strip. Background Art

[0002] The welding ribbon is used to connect two adjacent cells, connecting the cells in series to form a higher voltage. Common shapes of welding ribbons include round welding ribbons, flat welding ribbons, triangular welding ribbons, reflective welding ribbons, segmented welding ribbons, etc. In order to reduce the weight of the film on the back of the module, reducing the size of the back welding ribbon is a feasible solution. There are currently two solutions: one is the finished segmented welding ribbon, and the other is to add a flattening device to the welding machine to flatten the back of the corresponding welding ribbon; the segmented welding ribbon cannot be used in photovoltaic modules of different specifications due to the customized arrangement size. And because the position of the welding ribbon needs to be recalibrated every time the reel is changed, the operation complexity increases, and the customized purchase of welding ribbon may also lead to information leakage of the module manufacturer.

[0003] Adding a flattening device to flatten the back of the welding strip can automatically identify the required flattening position according to the set parameters such as the cell size and cell spacing, so there is no need to purchase special materials separately. It is suitable for cells of different sizes, different types of welding strips, and different welding methods. However, after the welding strip is flattened, the yield strength of the welding strip increases by 20% to 70%, and the elastic modulus increases by 20% to 70%. The welding strip is no longer soft as a whole, and the contact stress at the contact position with the cell is large, which increases the hidden crack rate and reduces the qualified rate. Therefore, when using conventional materials, how to maintain a low hidden crack rate when flattening the back of the welding strip is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0007] As an optimization, annealing wheel A and annealing wheel C are both located on the side where the welding strip steering angle is less than or equal to 180°, and the bracket is provided with a clamping mechanism A for driving annealing wheel B to move toward annealing wheel A, and a clamping mechanism B for driving annealing wheel D to move toward annealing wheel C; the spacing between annealing wheel A and annealing wheel B is changed by clamping mechanism A, and the spacing between annealing wheel C and annealing wheel D is changed by clamping mechanism B, so as to ensure that the pre-annealing wheel group and the main annealing wheel group can anneal welding strips of different styles.

[0008] As an optimization, a step temperature control device is provided in the insulation box A, and the welding strip passes through the step temperature control device; the welding strip is gradually annealed by the step temperature control device provided in the insulation box A to avoid an increase in the hidden crack rate of the welding strip due to rapid annealing.

[0009] As an optimization, a constant temperature device is provided in the insulation box B, and the welding strip passes through the constant temperature device; the welding strip is insulated by the constant temperature device provided in the insulation box B, so that the welding strip remains soft.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the flattened welding strip is subjected to high-temperature annealing in sequence by the pre-annealing wheel group, the heat preservation box A, the main annealing wheel group, and the heat preservation box B, so that the yield strength of the flattened welding strip is reduced, the welding strip is kept relatively soft, the hidden crack rate of the welding strip is reduced, and the annealing efficiency is improved at the same time; the two sides of the welding strip are subjected to annealing treatment by the annealing wheel A and the annealing wheel B, the annealing wheel C and the annealing wheel D at the same time, so that the annealing efficiency of the welding strip is increased, and the hidden crack rate of the welding strip is avoided to increase due to the temperature difference on the two sides of the welding strip; the spacing between the annealing wheel A and the annealing wheel B is changed by the clamping mechanism A, and the spacing between the annealing wheel C and the annealing wheel D is changed by the clamping mechanism B, so as to ensure that the pre-annealing wheel group and the main annealing wheel group anneal welding strips of different styles; the welding strip is gradually annealed by the step temperature control device provided in the heat preservation box A, so as to avoid the increase of the hidden crack rate of the welding strip caused by rapid annealing; the welding strip is kept warm by the constant temperature device provided in the heat preservation box B, so that the welding strip remains soft.
